Mentoring matters more now: Stonehill College alumni provide personalized professional support
In today’s ever-changing professional landscape, new graduates find knowledge alone isn’t always enough to succeed. The guiding hand of someone experienced is essential.
Stonehill College students are fortunate in this regard.
Across all majors at the college, mentors generously give their time. Healthcare management major Meaghan Sydlowski ‘14, an emergency response and preparedness specialist for the International Medical Corps, exemplifies this commitment. During the pandemic, Sydlowski “Zoomed in” from a Los Angeles vaccination clinic to talk with students about supply chain management. “We’re building the plane as it’s flying,” she said of the operation she was helping to manage.
This commitment to reaching back is self-perpetuating, inspiring those who were mentored to become mentors themselves.
“I got my first internship at Goldman Sachs with the help of Michael Desmarais ’88 and Jon Hughes ’07,” said finance major Daniel Doherty ’15 of Citadel Securities in New York. Now, Doherty regularly mentors current students.
The beauty of mentoring is that it is mutually beneficial. By helping others navigate challenges, mentors develop stronger leadership skills. It’s “an exchange of ideas, support, connection, and opportunities,” said finance major Karen Madison ’94, who is now a senior executive biologic sales specialist at the pharmaceutical giant AstraZeneca.
